Intro:

Post-game sound after the Houston Rockets beat the Los Angeles Clippers 115-109 in Game 2 of the Western Conference semi-finals on Wednesday night at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Kevin McHale, Houston Rockets Head Coach:

"But I think it kind of started with our, our energy level picked up and the guys started catching a rhythm from their energy on the defensive end and that's what you got to do. I mean our (defense) held them to 44 (points) in the second half. They had 41 (points) in the second quarter. So you could see it was a different, different, different energy level by us."

SOUNDBITE (English) Doc Rivers, Los Angeles Clippers Head Coach:

"We got out of rhythm offensively. That's where the game changed for us. I thought it was the first game we didn't trust each other. The pass, we did two things, the ball didn't move and we got stuck trying to get the ball to Blake (Griffin) so much, that we forgot that there are other guys on the other side of the floor. The ball never changed sides off the floor. So that hurt us and I thought that stretch was big."
